His flight out of Seattle Monday morning (or "North Pole" as residents are currently regarding it) has been cancelled and arranging alternates is very difficult. Thousands of people are spending the night at Seattle Tacoma International airport tonight - and the restaurants are running out of food since deliveries can't make it in. So they are warning passengers to bring their own food and drink with them to the airport!

But this is Fr. Mike's second Christmas in a row being trapped by blizzards in a far-away city. Last year, he finally made it home late Christmas Eve. After a long 3 months on the road, he deserves some time at home.

So pray for all who are trapped in airports and bus terminals and cars tonight - for their safety and well-being - and especially Fr. MIke.
